Check the fuses
Clean the switches and connections.
Pull off the rubber on the motor and wind them up down manually until fixed.

Added to the above & do first, pull the relay from under its rubber cover on the motor, clean contacts & replace.

When mine did this I found the adjustment nut 'n bolt at the end of one of the metal arms that stick out backwards from the light had worked itself loose so the stop position was in the wrong place and made the light stick in the up position. Quick tighten up of the bolt and the light's lowered as normal. Otherwise do as previous posts mentioned go through all the connections.
